Iowa's Simple Pleasures (#204)

Professional cowboys entertain crowds of all ages at southwest Iowa's Sidney Championship Rodeo; experience what was once a great whiskey secret in Templeton; learn to make a hole-in-one in the game of disc golf; it's a carnivore's delight at a roadside steakhouse in Albia.

Hosted by Dan Kaercher, Iowa's Simple Pleasures features Iowa travel destinations, restaurants, events, parks, recreation and more. Produced by Iowa Public Television, the series highlights fun things for Iowans to do, see and taste, right here at home. Below are excerpts from Dan's journal of his travels in the state.
